KnowBe4

Why KnowBe4 IS A MOST LOVED WORKPLACE®

Systemic Collaboration

EMPLOYEES COLLABORATE THROUGHOUT OUR COMPANY BY …

Every morning at KnowBe4, employees start their workday with a 5-20 minute company-wide daily briefing, where our CEO, Stu, and other executives, update all Knowsters about current happenings in the company and within our industry. Next, all departments at KnowBe4 collaborate during daily team stand-up meetings, so every employee is fully aware of what others on their team are working on. These quick, yet effective check-ins, allow Knowsters to communicate with one another while also having dedicated time to coordinate, brainstorm, and share ideas.

Positive Vision of the Future

EMPLOYEES AT OUR COMPANY HAVE A POSITIVE VISION FOR THE FUTURE BECAUSE …

Every day at KnowBe4 is filled with celebrations. Birthdays, work anniversaries, sales goals, and company milestones are all reasons to celebrate, and we celebrate big. There are always streamers, party horns, and applause sounding around the offices, and special events call for special celebrations, such as trips to local theme parks. Our employees have a positive vision for our future because our culture is centered around our people; we cultivate an environment of happy employees who work hard together to reach company-wide goals. It’s no wonder we have been ranked a top workplace for the last six years in a row!

Company Respect

WE SHOW RESPECT AND ENSURE THAT ALL VOICES ARE HEARD AND IDEAS ARE VALUED THROUGHOUT THE COMPANY BY …

At KnowBe4, we recognize the value of building a diverse team that draws on different backgrounds and experiences. Our culture heavily focuses on creating a welcoming and inclusive environment for all. For example, we offer employee resource groups to all of our employees. Our employee resource groups are designed to give employees a place to come together with others in the company who may have shared experiences. Additionally, all employees are encouraged to bring their ideas forth to leadership with our “no-door policy.” We even have a suggestion box where all employees can submit their ideas to make KnowBe4 even better!

Company Support / Killer Outcomes

WE SUPPORT OUR EMPLOYEES IN ACHIEVING THEIR PROFESSIONAL AND PERSONAL GOALS BY …

We have big goals for growth, and we know our team members do too! We give our employees a lot of tools and support to succeed, including leadership skills training, career development resources, tuition reimbursement, and big bonuses for employees who earn certifications. Our CEO even encourages all team members to take 5 hours a week (an hour a day) to learn new skills or master old ones. Because we invest in our employees, when new positions and promotions become available, our team members are ready to step up and fill the opening.

Alignment of Values

OUR COMPANY’S VALUES ARE ALIGNED WITH OUR EMPLOYEES BECAUSE …

KnowBe4’s employees, including our leadership, practice extreme ownership, radical transparency, and complete honesty. Through extreme ownership, employees totally own their sphere of responsibility and take full ownership over their area. When something goes wrong, no one passes the blame. Instead, everyone looks internally to see what they could have done better to prevent the issue. Through radical transparency, we have cultivated an environment of freedom and trust. By practicing complete honesty, employees feel comfortable sharing feedback and accepting it, and it allows our employees to be on the same page. These values are the foundation of our culture and people.

Company Practices / Love

PROGRAMS AND PRACTICES WE GIVE TO OUR EMPLOYEES THAT CREATE A LOVED WORKPLACE ARE …

KnowBe4 is proud to offer all of our employees employee resource groups that provide community, support, and a sense of belonging within our organization. Our ERGs include the Knowster Parents group, the Black Knowsters Network, the LGBTQ+ group, Women in Technology, Military and Veterans Resource Group and most recently, our Hispanic/Latin group, Vamos! These groups help to promote change within the organization, provide a voice for members within the company and offer mentorship and educational opportunities. In addition, our ERGs spearhead community outreach efforts, philanthropic activities and social events for members, and have been an integral part of our DE&I initiatives.
